Mount Carmel Health System’s Post

Cumberland County!!

Stories like this one are tragic reminders of the important work environmental health specialists do throughout the country. Stories like this one are also reminders of how far we have come. Today, communication channels in state and federal public health offices are more open than ever before. Today, public health medical practitioners and epidemiologists have built deeper working relationships with environmental health specialist and laboratorians than ever before, changing the face of how we approach foodborne illness. Today, Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), has changed the name of the game, so that we can rapidly identify the source of the infection. However, this is not an excuse for complacency. Together, we make stories like this one less common. #environmentalhealth #foodsafety #publichealthmatters

Revolutionizing Patient Data Monetization: The MyRxWallet Approach In today’s digital age, healthcare systems are sitting on mountains of patient data, often collected through EHRs and other digital platforms. This data holds immense value for innovations like precision medicine, drug discovery, and even AI models, yet, as a society, we continue to grapple with one essential question: Who should benefit from this data? At MyRxWallet, we believe the answer is clear—patients should. After all, it’s their data. Currently, many healthcare systems and startups debate the ethics of commercializing patient data without direct consent. While some institutions take a cautious approach, others rush into the market without considering the patient’s rights. But why not empower patients to have control and directly benefit from their own data? Through MyRxWallet’s blockchain-powered platform, we are creating a future where patients have full ownership of their health data, and they can monetize it when they choose. Using decentralized and tamper-proof technologies, patients can securely share anonymized health data for research, clinical trials, or drug development—all while being compensated for it. This not only empowers patients but also opens new doors for healthcare innovation. Our vision isn’t just about protecting data—it’s about creating a new healthcare ecosystem where patients are stakeholders in their health journey and benefit financially from the value their data generates. At MyRxWallet, we aren’t just building technology; we’re building patient empowerment. Let’s change the conversation. Let’s give patients control over what’s rightfully theirs. #Blockchain #HealthcareInnovation #DataMonetization #PatientData #DataOwnership #AI #MyRxWallet #Web3 #HealthcareTransformation
